IB Avios Redemption - Changes in branding, stealth devaluation

Hey all, heads up that Iberia seems to be rolling out Basic Avios redemption seats in place of the previous refundable Blue class seat.
Basic redemption:
- No checked baggage
- Non refundable
- Changable for EUR25/US$40

Full flex Economy class redemption renamed as Comfort. Confusingly, some flights may still feature the Blue class seat but that has been renamed as Comfort class as well - refundable with EUR25 penalty.
Business class redemption renamed as Business comfort.

Apparently these changes are being rolled out this month, but for some weeks now some flights may still be showing as Blue Class with refundable conditions. May as well book via BA now...
